Chinese Assessment Books

[janet88]

Hi Jedamum,

No worries, we are all here to share to help out one another.
My friend recommended this title and I find it reasonably good-not too difficult like some SAP ones nor too easy like EPH. Have been getting this title faithfully every year.

Hi! Janet!


Am going to Popular to get Chinese Comprehension book for DD1 :evil: :evil:

Got an e-mail from DD1's CL T that she has lost marks in the Compre OE section for this SA2 :sad: ..although the paper 2 will only be given back to them next week. Any good recommendation?

Hi Champion,
My son lost majority of the marks in 短文填空 and Comprehension OE.
Time is tight as kids go upper level...I suggest you don't get a separate assessment just for Compre OE. 强化 compre passages are reasonably good.

Hi champion,

All 3 of the books you posted are effective, targets the key areas of weaknesses and do-able (without supervision). First one (Victoria) is for SA2, 2nd one used for whole of this year.
Son still cant improve in his duan3 wen2 tian2 kong1 for this term. But his wan2 cheng2 dui4 hua4 scored full marks.

For the 2nd one, the P4 version came out this year. Didn't see if it has same format as P5. Mine is highlighted and terribly messy with corrections and post-it notes all over :oops:

[jedamum]

sorry…

is wan2 cheng2 dui4 hua4, part of PSLE format?
my son dont have this in his exam format.

Hi Jedamum,
完成对话 is part of the exam format. The other components are 语文应用 which covers 辨字测验，词语选择，短文填空，阅读理解 (MCQ) and (OE).

Hi,


Would like to check with experienced parents here, for children who are taking HCL, is there a need to buy separate guidebooks and assessment books for CL and HCL separately since they will be taking 2 separate papers?

Hi whywhy,
Which standard is your son in? 完成对话is not in my son's P4 exam paper this year too. However, in ds school briefing on HCL and CL for P5, I saw this section being flashed out during the teacher's presentation when she went through the paper format.

I thot the change in examination format for Chinese will implement only in 2017 PSLE? So the next P1 batch onwards will be affected.


Are there changes? TIA
